I expect perfection when I am paying...
Buy my employer should not expect perfection from me, even though they pay me a LOT more than a Speedmaster costs... That would be an unreasonable expectation.
Expecting proper alignment of a watch hand is hardly perfection?...
I mean, it is if "proper alignment" means "perfect alignment"...?
Again, nobody here will deny that that alignment is slightly off---and could be slightly irritating. You can hold Omega to your own super-high standard and feel perpetually disappointed in the brand. Or you can spend some time reading about other people's experiences and get a realistic sense of what the brand deems acceptable, and then feel better. A lot of people (maybe a big majority) get better alignment than this, because Omega does make great watches and has good QC. This is one of the less amazing ones, sure, but it may well be within the acceptable margin---that's all we're saying. It's probably as good as Omega guarantees it to be. But maybe not: curious to hear what the AD had to say. And even if it is within tolerance, they may want to make the OP feel better and take care of it anyway. (If I were a sales associate, that's what I'd want to do.)

just bought this watch today at an AD. When I saw it in the shop, I borrowed a loupe because I thought the chrono-second hand was slightly off to the 59-sec mark. In the loupe, it looked fine.
However, when I got home and checked out the watch in the bright light from the window, I could easily see the following. Is it within what should be tolerated?
Pictures are taken in the window and with top of the picture towards the window in order to rule out "eye-distortion".
I have written to the AD, but of course it is long after hours now.
I was in Bejing one time and the food in general was giving me the tummy troubles. To put it nicely. We found a McDonalds and I’ll be damned if that Big Mac didn’t look just like the commercials. It was amazing. Also, I would want my chrono hand aligned on a 7k watch. I think it’s fair enough.

These people expecting literal "perfection" because some product cost $X are apparently not living in the same world that I live in. I only hope I never have to interact with them in person. "That foam better be perfect on my $5 latte!"
The closer you look, the more imperfection you will find. And something that seems expensive to you now may seem modestly priced at a different time in your life.
